Please have a look at the German open Source Center BerliOS at www.berlios.de
BerliOS will continue to support free hosting of cryptography projects even
when US laws change and don't allow to host cryptography projects in the USA.
Also look at sourcewell.berlios.de, the first Open Source announcement service
that itself is implemented as Open Source project.

NEW features of cdrtools-2.01.01a23:

*******
NOTE: this is _not_ a release that starts a new aplha/beta series of
	dirtibutions. The only reason is to add certain new CD/DVD features
	that are important.

	So _please_ do not send any patches except when you like to fix
	extreme bugs. I am currently mainly working on stable incremental
	restore featurs for star-1.5-final.
	Once star-1.5-final is out, cdrtools will start a new developent cycle.

All:

-	"libvms" new from Steven M. Schweda sms@antinode.org

Libschily:

Libparanoia (Ported/enhanced by Jörg Schilling, originated by Monty xiphmont@mit.edu):

Libedc (Optimized by Jörg Schilling, originated by Heiko Eißfeldt heiko@hexco.de):

Libfind:

Libscg:

-	Trying to implement a workaround for a Linux USB DMA size problem by implementing
	support for a new ioctl proposal from Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu>

	UPDATE: It seems that the final fix in the Linux kernel will take some time
	and will be incompatible to the current patch. For this reason, I decided to 
	make the intermediate patch available at:
	ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/Linux-USB-DMA-Size.patch


Rscsi:

Cdrecord:

-	Enhanced CUE sheet parser to allow writing the new Zeta CD from
	http://www.zeta-os.com/cms/custom/lcd/indexe.php

-	Supporting -raw/-raw16/-raw96r in CUE sheet mode (with cuefile=).
	Please test and report as I am not able to test all possible cases.

	As it seems that this new mode works now properly, it it possible 
	to write SVCDs on Pioneer writers that refuse to write SVCDs in -sao mode
	because Pioneer implements a silly internal memory mamagement that
	reserves memory for 99 tracks with not more than 2 indices each.
 
	In RAW mode, cdrecord takes care of subchannel data and is able to work
	around this deficit in Pioneer drives.

-	Correctly reset CDRWIN CUE sheet state at the beginning of a new track

-	Added some small changes to help compiling on VMS

Cdda2wav (Maintained/enhanced by Jörg Schilling, originated by Heiko Eißfeldt heiko@hexco.de):

-	Added some small changes to help compiling on VMS

Btcflash:

Mkisofs (By Jörg Schilling and James Pearson j.pearson@ge.ucl.ac.uk):

TODO:
	-	read Joliet filenames with multi-session if no TRANS.TBL
		or RR is present. I am looking for a volouteer for this task!

		Note that this can never be 100% correct as there is no relation
		between the names on the master (UNIX) filesystem, the ISO-9660
		names and the Joliet names. Only the Rock Ridge names are
		untranslated with respect to the original files on the
		master (UNIX) filesystem.

	-	add libecc/edc for CDI and similar.


CYGWIN NT-4.0 NOTES:

To compile on Cygwin32, get Cygwin and install it.
For more information read README.win32

The files are located on:

ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha ...

NOTE:	These tar archives are 100% POSIX compatible. GNU tar may get some
	minor trouble. If you like a 100% POSIX compliant tar, get star from
	ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/star/

WARNING: Do not use 'winzip' to extract the tar file!
	Winzip cannot extract symbolic links correctly.
